## Procedures

- `ASCII()`
- `UTF8()`
- `UTF32()`
- `Unicode()`
- `ISO88591()`
- `Encoding(codePage: Integer)`
- `Codepage(): Integer`
- `GetEncoding(var DotNetEncoding2: DotNet Encoding)`
- `SetEncoding(DotNetEncoding2: DotNet Encoding)`
- `GetChars(DotNet_ArrayBytes: Codeunit DotNet_Array; Index: Integer; Count: Integer; var DotNet_ArrayResult: Codeunit DotNet_Array)`
- `GetBytes(DotNet_ArrayChars: Codeunit DotNet_Array; Index: Integer; Count: Integer; var DotNet_ArrayResult: Codeunit DotNet_Array)`
- `GetBytesWithOffset(DotNet_ArrayChars: Codeunit DotNet_Array; Index: Integer; Count: Integer; var DotNet_ArrayResult: Codeunit DotNet_Array; ByteIndex: Integer)`
- `GetString(DotNet_ArrayBytes: Codeunit DotNet_Array; Index: Integer; Count: Integer): Text`

## Triggers

OnRun

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 3000 "DotNet_Array"](../codeunit/3000.md) (6 calls: `GetBytes → GetArray`, `GetBytes → SetArray`, `GetBytesWithOffset → GetArray`, …)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 3027 "DotNet_StreamReader"](../codeunit/3027.md) (2 calls: `CurrentEncoding → SetEncoding`, `StreamReader → GetEncoding`)
- [Codeunit 3025 "DotNet_StreamWriter"](../codeunit/3025.md) (1 call: `StreamWriter → GetEncoding`)
- [Codeunit 3032 "DotNet_BinaryReader"](../codeunit/3032.md) (1 call: `BinaryReaderWithEncoding → GetEncoding`)
- [Codeunit 3033 "DotNet_BinaryWriter"](../codeunit/3033.md) (1 call: `BinaryWriterWithEncoding → GetEncoding`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC28

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "DotNet_Encoding")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
